Re: sending dog for training

I’m dropping off my 6 month old GSP for training this Sunday. I had 3 field trial labs that were all Pro trained and in my experience, what a pro can do in a few months I’d be lucky to do in a years time. I guide waterfowl and upland and there truly is nothing worse when someone brings their dog the...

Garmin Pro 550 Plus

Anyone have any first hand experience with this unit? I’m up in the air between this unit or just the Pro 550. I’ll mostly be running my dog as a guide dog on our preserve.

550 or 550 Plus

I’m in need of a new collar. I was looking at the 550 Plus but wanted to hear from anyone that has one already. Always reluctant to make a purchase like that when it’s brand new to market. Anyone hear of any glitches or something they like or dislike. Thanks in advance

Impatiently Waiting

Made the 10 hour drive from NY to OH yesterday and meeting the breeder to pick up my new GSP pup today. The last 2 weeks have felt like a year to us. Just looking forward to getting back into the dog games and training.
